Waltz of the Toreadors (also known as The Amorous General) is a 1962 film directed by John Guillermin and starring Peter Sellers and Dany Robin. It was based on the play of the same name by Jean Anouilh with the location changed from France to England. It was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay at the 16th British Academy Film Awards in 1963.
The film had its World Premiere on 12 April 1962 at the Odeon Leicester Square in London's West End. Guillermin later said "it was about the irony of old age and had a light touch".
